Please recommend one or two GD books to start with

DS is just 10 months, but I'm ready to start reading about gentle discipline, and introducing the concept to DH. I've had a brief look at the resources sticky, and there are SO many books listed. What are your favorites?

for toddlers, becoming the parent you want to be.

I second Becoming the Parent You Want to Be. I read it when DD had just turned 1 and it gave me some great practical ideas. I also like Playful Parenting for little ones. Even though some of the ideas won't work until they're a little older, it introduces the concept of connecting through play, and I think that is a great goal at any age!

Good for you for starting to read about GD! It was a hard transition for me from meeting DD's every need as a baby to starting to set limits for a toddler and I definitely needed some guidance to get started.

Thank you for your replies, which I only just noticed! There wasn't any response initially, and I stopped checking until today.
